bradm 108 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 After one day over two years away from the stage (except for an in-studio performance on CKCU-FM in January), the band I'm in, Inglewood Jack, will be doing two gigs this week. The first is Wednesday, April 1, at The Rainbow Bistro. We'll be on last, probably starting around midnight or so. The second is Thursday, April 2, at The New Bayou Jazz And Blues Club, when we'll start early, around 7pm, opening up for Peter Liu And The Jazz Mutants, in their monthly "Jazz Evolution" night.We're really excited about getting back to performing. In the time away from the stage, we've been composing, recording, and rehearsing, and feel we're at the strongest we've been. If you're in Ottawa and can make it to either or both of the gigs, we promise to do our best to funk your socks off. If you're planning on not wearing socks, let us know, and we might be able to hook you up at the gig.Aloha,Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattm 0 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hey Brad, two nights, good job. Now Steph and I can both go, one night each Not sure if we can actually swing that but we'll for sure try and at least one of us will be at at least one of the shows.

Velvet 154 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Okay, time to spill the beans: April 1st is Bradm's birthday (no foolin') So the Rainbow show is his birthday show. I look forward to force-feeding him tequila shots until he has to curl up on the floor fetally. Before the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bradm 108 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Okay, time to spill the beans:April 1st is Bradm's birthday (no foolin') So the Rainbow show is his birthday show. I look forward to force-feeding him tequila shots until he has to curl up on the floor fetally. Before the show. We're on third, so the main goal of the rest of the members of IJ will be to keep me sober enough to play the show and record the show (probably two different ways). Note, however, that I've arbitrarily assumed the authority to extend the celebration of my birth across more than a week: I started last Friday at Mr. Something Something, and will kick it up several notches tomorrow night, with anything that survives the Rainbow available for further notch-kicking at the Bayou on Thursday, then maybe a nice dinner on Friday (location TBD), and then Lauzon @ Dekcuf on Saturday. It's on, people; bring it. Aloha, Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bradm 108 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 How about this Brad... we'll let you get as wasted as you want.. and when we hit the stage we'll just turn off your amp Try it. I'll probably stand there for a while, playing but mystified as to why I'm not hearing myself, then go all batshiat crazee, I mean, total freakin' meltdown, on the sound engineer, demanding that I be heard more in the monitors.

Velvet 154 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I thought it was pretty darn good. The rhythm section is deadly solid. It's very prog-rockish, in an instrumental, old-Rush sort of way but they occasionally bring out the funk too.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
